For you keep saying, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiable and beggared and blind and naked. I advise you to buy of me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white raiment to clothe yourself, so that the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint your eyes, in order that you may see. All whom I love I reprove and discipline; therefore be full of zeal and repent. Behold, I am standing at the door and knocking! If any one listens to my voice, and opens the door, I will come to him, and sup with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit down with me on my throne, as I myself have overcome and have taken my seat with my Father on his throne.

And to the angel of the Church in Thyatira, write. These are the words of the Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like burnished brass. I know your works and your love and faith and service and endurance; I know that your last works are more than the first.

I have given her time for repentance; but she is determined not to turn from her immorality. Behold, I will lay her on a sick bed, and bring great distress upon those who have committed adultery with her, unless they turn away from her works. And moreover, her children will I kill with pestilence. And all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the hearts and souls of men. I will give to each of you according to his works. But to the rest of you in Thyatira, those who do not hold his teaching, and who do not know the "deep things" of Satan (as they call them), I say that I am imposing upon you no fresh burden; only hold fast what you have till I come. To him that overcomes and perseveres in my works to the end, will I give authority over the nations. And he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron, shattering them like earthen vessels (as I myself have received from my Father), and I will give him the Morning Star."

And I saw thrones, and those who sat on them, and they were permitted to judge; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the Word of God, those who did not worship the beast nor his image, and who did not receive his brand upon their brow, or hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has a part in the first resurrection; on such the second death has no power, but they will be God's priests, and Christ's; and will reign with him for a thousand years.

And there will be no more curse But in it will be the throne of God and of the Lamb. And his slaves will serve and worship him. They will see his face. His name will be on their foreheads. Night will be no more. They will need no lamplight nor sunlight, Because the Lord God will give them light; And they will reign forever and ever.

And he said to me, "These are those who have come out of the great persecution, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, there stood a throne in heaven, and upon the throne One sat; and he who sat was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon. And round about the throne were four and twenty Elders seated, who were clothed in white raiment, with golden crowns upon their heads. read more.
From the throne issued lightning and voices and thunders. Seven blazing lamps were burning before the throne; these are the seven Spirits of God. And in front of the throne as it seemed, a glassy sea like crystal; and in the midst of the throne and encircling it are four Living Creatures, full of eyes before and behind. The first creature was like a lion, and the second like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man's, and the fourth creature was like an eagle flying. And the four Living Creatures, each one with six wings, are full of eyes round about and within; day and night they are chanting ceaselessly. "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty. Who was, and who is, and who is to come." And whenever the Living Creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the four and twenty Elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying.

Take care lest any man drag you away captive by his philosophy which is a vain deceit, following the traditions of men and the world's crude notions, and not Christ.

In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands; even in putting off your sensual nature in Christ's own circumcision, when you were buried with him in baptism. In baptism also you were raised with him, through your faith in the energy of that God who raised him from the dead. And you also, at one time dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sensual nature, he has made alive together with himself. For he forgave us all our transgressions, blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that stood against us and was hostile to us, and took it out of our way, nailing it to his cross. Principalities and powers he disarmed, and openly displayed them as his trophies, when he triumphed over them in the cross.



"Do you now believe?" said Jesus; "behold the hour approaches and is already come when you will be scattered, each man to his home, and will leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

And they who are with him are called and faithful and chosen."
